Indie Day at R&L

[Dukeeyyy]

with kasabian probably headlining V, The strokes at isle of wight and libertines ruled out until 2011 who could be the indie headliner??? Not indie but Muse???

[thetime]

What do you mean though?

Proper indie or the indie people say is indie nowadays?

yeh the latter

[Lithium05]

Maybe there won't be one seeing as there were 3 last year

[Dukeeyyy]

yeh your probably right ;P we could do with another 2008 year that was an awesome year!!

[rexclark]

A good mix is what we need, as long as theres a "roc" day. I like to know all the moshers are in the one place.

I am hoping for headliners more like 2008, lively and put on a good show. All three were all a bit samey last year in their performance, solid musically but lacking in fun a bit.

Don't get me wrong I still enjoyed last years headline performances. But a mixture would be the best way forward.

Muse are going to be somewhere.

It would be a nice surprise if they wernt announced for glasto and actually played R & L.

I would certainly enjoy it.

Can't see it happening though. Unfortunatley.

Radiohead are hardly indie (at least by no means similar to KOL or arctic monkeys)

But yeah I think this year there may be no mainstream indie headline act.

Greenday

Blink/MCR

Foo fighters is my tip

2008 still had The Killers though.

And I wouldn't compare the mediocre performances by KOL and Arctics to Radiohead's glorious show last year.

[thomasowen]

Radioheads last album was actually indie cause they released it on their own label didnt they?

But musically to describe them as indie is naive and quite frankly ridiculous. They float around in Alternative really.

Radiohead last year was by far the best performance of the weekend. To class them as Indie is just silly really, they have encompased almost every genre in their career. Anyway back to the show, personally preffered the "true" Radiohead setlist at Leeds to Reading's almost "best of" I always love it when they play their darker stuff. The visualisations were quite frankly sublime, can't remember what song it was but the one with Thom's eye pressed up against the camera for the entirety was beautiful yet oddly haunting :|

You and whose army

[thetime]

thanks for that, f**king superb.

Just watched the Reading version on youtube and there are people having a f**king chat and giggling and generally being dicks right next to the camera, people like this should be executed in my view. Just because it isn't Creep doesn't mean you can talk. Now f**k off!

You sound like a right prick.

And I should know... we can spot our own.

[jonwl89]

what can I say it's an art i've been perfecting over many years

Rather angrily expressed I kow but it really bothers me when people do this, had some right tools stood next to us during the gig who were quite clearly only there for the "chunes!11!1" Please go back to your stella and oasis and leave good bands alone kthnxbai.
